WS over Now s*** can start happening

Great World Series So much back and forth Good stuff Congratulations Chicago Cubs

He's gonna have to make a LOT of speeches over the next 7 years LOL

Yes Cubs!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No f'n way Rajai LMAO

More inherited runners scoring

Buck: "There goes John Maddon to the mound"

Yes I'm hanging in for that

IRL seniority often wins jobs over competency

A game 7 What more could we ask for Woot!

Today is like a national holiday in Chicago I'm sure

Really want Pillar to win

Wild card game for sure

Oh he'll still get paid plenty, yes But it won't be the record setting deal he might have had I think

Imagine if Boston had managed to re-sign Lester and Miller

OTOH, Lester remains a post season force

He's really been shaky this post season That and his baggage will reduce what he gets this off season as a free agent

8-1 but Baez looks hurt Crap

Every time he comes in to inherited runners yes actually Maddon will try to avoid that tonight I'm sure

Dodgers are in trouble

And Chapman awaits

Then a walk to Zobrist
